For me, in Hazelton, Betty Ford is the best of the best creme de la creme without the alcohol.
When it comes to understanding addiction in Indigenous communities, the role of historical trauma cannot be overlooked. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host Andrew Williams sits down with Cecilia Jayme, Director of Clinical Services, and Sarita McGowan, PhD, to explore this crucial topic. Both Jayme and McGowan, proud Native women in long-term recovery, bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to the table.
They discuss the alarming disparities in overdose rates and binge drinking among Native Americans, shedding light on the deep-rooted issues that contribute to these statistics. But it's not all about the problems; they also focus on solutions. The conversation delves into the importance of culturally-based healing practices and peer recovery initiatives that resonate with Indigenous values and traditions.
Jayme and McGowan highlight the role of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in supporting these efforts, emphasizing the need for allies and community members to partner in creating meaningful change. One of the standout topics is wellbriety—a movement that combines sobriety with overall wellness, tailored specifically for Indigenous communities. This episode offers a rich tapestry of insights, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction, recovery, and the power of culturally-sensitive approaches to healing.
